I have a pretty nice workstation, with 8 cores and 32G RAM.

A stupid little python program just killed it by consuming all the memory,

This is F23, everything is setup default regarding kernel memory policies,

You can sure edit /etc/security/limits.conf and bugger values there
to limit it based on user IDs.
